1/100 MG RX-78 Gundam CA

This is it, the RX-78 Gundam for Casval Deikum (Char Aznable) from the PlayStation 2 game "Giren's Ambition (Giren no yabou)".The frame is the same with the normal-colored "Version 1.5 RX-78."

First, let's see the Core Fighter...

You can actually transform this fighter into a cubical shape... something like this...

And later put it in there... in fact that is the concept of the RX-78 Gundam... I think it is useful for emergency escape....

But of coz I don't use it that way as Bandai give an extra for that... so I just use the extra...

This one, you can see the pilot...

OK let's see the full body closely...

Some gimmick on the arms and leg part....

Honestly, IMO, nothing great about it... when u open up that part... at the end it will only reveal the skeleton inside... nothing great... at first I thought it has some functionality or something...

A little complain from me about the shield... as you can see from the photo below, there is a "hole" there... actually at first there is something there but at the end I cut it...

See under the hole... it is basically something like that...

The purpose if it so that you can easily mount it at the back of the Gundam...

Into that hole there...

But the problem is that thing annoyed me becoz if I attached the shield on the arms of the Gundam, that thing basically ruined the flexibility... not easy to pose with it anymore....

Plus the Gundam actually only depend on this part (that black thing) to make sure he can handle it properly... so when you put this handle to the left hand... make sure you grip the hand pretty well...

The shield for OYWV is much better designed by Bandai... I wonder how the RX-78-2 Ver. 2.0 look like... I would love to have that soon...

I think that's enough for our little comparisons...

Basically I never expect this RX-78 Gundam CA to be great or better than the OYWV - the main reason I bought it is because it is the Gundam for Char Aznable and Zeon... the color is cool... though actually if you have the skills and equipment to do painting job, it would be better if you buy the OYWV and then do the painting job and buy the Zeon decals.... extra cost and effort that is... but it's really up to you.... I don't have the proper skills and equipment for painting so the cheap soutions for that is to just buy this pink RX-78.
